Josh Barnett gets BJJ Black Belt

Pigs have flown! I’m a BJJ Black Belt!

Arnidude What? I thought you were always a BJJ Black Belt?

@JoshLBarnett nope. Never trained in it actually. Did do judo and after no-gi and gi matches against world champs I got my belt!

roninjiujitsu So is that the belt you wore at the Cali Gi comp, or did someone FINALLY give you one?

@JoshLBarnett my coach Erik Paulson who is a bb under Rigan belted me based on competition merit and overall knowledge.

But I am also a full instructor in CSW, a Hybrid Wrestling instructor from Pancrase, Black shirt from AMC Pankration.

Yes, I really was promoted to BJJ BB by my coach Erik Paulson…surreal as that.may be LOL.
